Late evening visit.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Adnams - Freewheel | 3.60 | | Tasted to me as if it was on the way as it was very sharp and not how described by Adnams as "aromas of citrus and peaches, beautifully balanced by a touch of gooseberry ..." |
| Goacher's - Best Dark Ale (aka Original) | 4.10 | | Sharp taste and whiff of acetics. Swapped with good grace but was disappointed to see it still sold to others |
